From Beachbum Berry's Grog Log:

"The height of the Polynesian restaurant craze dovetailed with the advent of the Space Age, and almost every tiki bar named at least one drink in honor of the Final Frontier...This is our humble addition to the Astro-Aku convergence..."

1 1/2 oz. Fresh lime juice
1 oz. Papaya nectar
1/2 oz. Apricot nectar
3/4 oz. Sugar syrup
1/2 oz. Falernum (Fee Bros.)
Dash of Angostura bitters
1 oz. Lemon Hart 151 Demerara rum
1 1/2 oz. Gold Puerto Rican rum (I used Appleton's Gold)

Blend with 1/2 cup of crushed ice. Pour into Easter Island mug or large snifter filled with ice cubes.

A couple of readers might remember this ancient post I made about Tuscon's Magic Carpet miniature-golf course, with it's animated pooping monkey and 25-ton concrete Easter Island head with an observation deck on top. The course closed a year ago, and to their everlasting credit, the fine citizens of Tuscon chipped in to rescue the Moai rather than let it succumb to the developers' bulldozers. Roadside America and Tiki Central were there to document the Moai's move to its new habitat outside a nightclub called The Hut, where hopefully, it will be rediscovered someday in the far-flung future by archaeologists who will wonder how the natives managed to move it from it's original location, using only their primitive technology.
